Highcliffe Surf Guide
Not super consistent but there are a series of groynes here that are edging out of the swell shadow cast by the IOW and Hengistbury Head, so will wake in a solid southwesterly swell. The best bet for a fun peak can be found in front of the car park or just to the east where good banks can form, best at low tide.
